My sincere thanks for the kind words everyone.
Thumsup - Thanks for the kind words.
Gus - You're absolutely right...it needs some strategically placed weathering. I think that will help as well.
CN - I hope to try this one again...only with better results. I've seen so many cars and engines changed, bashed, improved, refurbished, redone, it was about time I started. I don't know if this was the easiest project I could have started with...but it certainly taught me a lot of "what not to do's".
Kevin - get on it...go get a Kato Nscale set (I'm thinking ATSF F7 Freight) and take the plunge! I find, even with good eyes and glasses, it is still a challenge to add details that look convincing in Nscale...but one tries.
Ralph - I'm not buying it...I've seen your work and results...lots of what you've posted has inspired changes for the better on my layout. Your HO work sure looks good to me!
Gary - Thanks! I plan on weathering and taking the shine off those newly painted handrails and well...just about everything else.
